摘要：

A maximum room temperature ferromagnetic moment of 0.47 mu(B)/Co ion has been observed in Sn0.9Co0.1O2-delta films grown by spray pyrolysis. The films have high conductivity (similar to 150 Omega(-1) cm(-1)) and similar to 70% transmittance in the visible region. A systematic variation of saturation magnetization, carrier concentration, electrical conductivity, and optical transmission edge in Sn1-xCoxO2-delta (0.05 <= x <= 0.15) films is correlated with the change in Co concentration, and a carrier mediated Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yoshida interaction has been proposed as the most probable mechanism for the ferromagnetic ordering. The maximum blueshift in the transmission edge by similar to 215 meV (at x=0.10) is attributed to the extra carriers generated by Co substitution. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
